My dog is hurt.
Kinsey is eight years old. She was chasing a squirrel on the trail, and slid down a slight incline. She hurt her back leg, and cannot put any weight on it. My husband is taking her to the vet in the morning.
We just lost our cat. This is scary.

Ah, she still thinks she's a puppy!
I suspect she will be OK, but the timing sure is lousy...
Vibes to her, and all of you!
could be a torn ligament (she made too quick a cut when running the beach and ended up lame)....sending positive thoughts your way, though, for it to be something far less serious.
Odds are she'll be fine, but its good to have her checked out. I get anxious whenever my Ava gets too excited and slips on the ceramic tile floor with a crash.
And I am right there with you -- this week we found out our 3-year-old Dachshund has a slipped disc.
It is scary -- just like when one of your kids is sick.
and to her human family. It's so hard when they get hurt or sick. Hopefully it will be relatively minor and just need some time and rest to heal.
Godspeed to your kitty. I'm so sorry for your loss.
He's a true couch hound and I think when he's outside and gets excited he out runs his body and pulls an acl. This is the second time he's done that, different leg, the fist time I took him to the vet. The options were real expensive surgery, expensive surgery or time to mend. He healed then and is recovering now.
Sorry about your kitty, we lost Tiger last June and it still hurt so much.
